You know one of the most profound promises of God is give and it shall be given back to you pressed down and shaken and running over shall men give unto your bosom. Yet ever wondered that you give and you give and give and nothing is being given unto you. Well after all it is said things will run over but they seem to run out.
The bible has a solution for us too bad most people do not read the bible with all these false prophets springing up everywhere. It is written do not get weary of doing good for in due season you shall reap.It is not easy to be like Christ Jesus. Yet many of us say we want to do Gods will however doing Gods will means total surrender.
When we examine our lives we will see that one of the most difficult things to do is to just let go. Well I know because I have been there and the thing I love about God is his all seeing and all knowing. He knows lip service and he gives each and everyone of us a chance to prove the genuineness of our lip service. it is not difficult to say God I love and trust you. But when push comes to shove how many really trust God. Well it took me several painful trials to learn to trust God.
Like I said God is all knowing all seeing. When ever he notices me loving something so much then he ask me to give it to someone else. It did not come easy nor does it come easy. If I may be honest it hurts to give all you have when you really need the same thing. But when God speaks I have learned to just obey and not think about it. It may be the same with you God is still working in your life.
Many Christians are missing out on Gods best because of selective obedience If we say we really trust God then be obedient to his voice. You see Abraham believed god and it was counted to him as righteousness how ever all the promises were trury given to him when he passed the test of obedience. He spent several years waiting for that kid of a promise and once he was born God asks him to give the kid as a sacrifice. After he obeyed then, only then was he surely given what he was promised why because he proved his love for God and he was called a friend of God.
Are you experiencing a delayed harvest maybe look back how have you fared on Gods tests. Oh yes you did not think you were an exception and it is just going to come just like that. Do not be fooled God can not be mocked. the genuineness of your faith has to be proved first. When only when God is sure that you really trust him then he releases whats in his hand.
When God wants to give you something big he demands so much of you. While you are waiting for your harvest has God kept asking you to give big or take bold steps of faith. Really look back and ask the holy spirit to help you with obedience.
Trust God fully and he will trust you with what ever he has in store for you. Soon there will be no more delays. only testimonies. Stay blessed.
